The boys should be back from Washington, in time to talk about fire hydrants, gasoline and road maintenance at a 10 a.m. meeting of Ranger Wilkerson’s Public Works Committee. And they’ll be around for the year’s final Alive After Five, featuring the Breakfsat Club, at 5:30 p.m. outside the likely future city hall, the Operations & Service Center on Beckford Drive. We await word on whether the Washington lobbying trip led by Mayor Clem Seifert had any luck with the Army Corps of Engineers. Maybe the $80,000-a-year Ferguson Group contract the City Council approved Monday night (with Elissa Yount in opposition) paid instant dividends. For now, the floor is open.
